The press of the South is compla cent while, frenerally speaking, states men of this section appear very well pleased over the prospect of the re tirement of Senator Bailey from pub lic life. It Is not clear to us why Democrats should feel that way about it. It Is true that Mr. Bailey has been suspected of a too friendly regard for the corporate Interests, but the alle gation has frequently been laid at the door of men in public life. There Is always the chance that there may b a mistake somewhere, that public clamor is being directed by men will a purpose to serve. It must be borne in mind, that whereas the fight against Bailey was Inaugurated In Texas, he likewise found vindication there, and wc have always harbored the hope that. In his dealings with 95 Broadway, Bailey was merely indiscreet. It is likewise true, as the critic would catalogue the shortcomings of the Senator, that be has not disclosed a faculty for get ting along very well with his col leagues. As John J. Ingalls said of Ben Hill of Georgia, Bailey Is a pol emic, intellectually pugnacious, a con- troversatlonalisl. sometimes positively dogmatic. Nevertheless, some of these faults and fallings, we are per suaded, may be ascribed in greater or lesser degree, to all great men, and it is well to remember that many of Mr. Bailey's enemies who may be de scribed as bitter, have not hesitated to record the appraisal that the Texas statesmen just falls short of great neas, such as has been attributed to Webster and other statesmen in that day of statesmen. But accepting all these adverse criticisms as true, and not being un mindful of the more serious indict ments made by political enemies and a hostile press, we are still convinced that it would be well for Democrats to temper their rejoicings over the prospective retirement of this man. It may so happen that the conspic uous place he has occupied In the party council will be taken by some one no less friendly to large llnancial Interests if It must be admitted that this has been the mental attitude of the Senator hut not possessing his admitted ability. Moreover, Demo crats should not lose sight of the faot that Bailey Is often right, even when he has apparently acted from impulses that sprang from a quick temper. When Bailey resigned be cause his colleagues apparently ap proved tha Arizona constitution with its provision for the recall of the ju diciary (and subsequent events have shown that Ballcy really desired to qun me senate) many Democrat were well nigh panic-stricken, not was there a greater mistake.

MAUItlAGE AND DIVORCE LAWS. One of the questions which Presi dent Taft will tak up on his western trip is the divorce evil, which Is now engaging the attention of publicists and divines as never before. The president feels strongly on this sub ject. He is quoted as having said that in his opinion a person divorced and forbidden to remarry by the courts of one State, who weds In another state is guilty of bigamy, nothing more or less. And it is along this line that he will seek a remedy. He will urge the enactment in each State in the union of a law prohibiting the remarriage In that state of any person forbidden to remarry by another Jurisdiction. President Taft, we are told, believes the attempt to secure a uniform di vorce law hopeless, and thinks legis lation such as he has outlined will greatly minimize the evil, a position n which he is sustained by the com mon assertion of authorities that many divorces probably the major ity are obtained to enable one of the parties to marry again. The hope of such legislation is, by removing the incentive, to check the tendency light ly to cast off the marriage tie. Nevertheless a glance at the stat utes of the various states und territo ries shows that for a real reform more stringent laws are needed In many quarters, even If absolute uniformity is a hopeless ideal. Of the 50 separ ate Jurisdictions in continental United States having power to grant divorces, South Carolina grants no divorces at all and New York absolute divorce for adultery only. Washington grants divorces on nine specific grounds and for "any other cause deemed sufficient by the court." Grounds elsewhere arc divided as follows: three in one Ju risdiction, four in two jurisdictions, six in ten jurisdictions, seven in ten Juris dictions, and in ten Jurisdictions, nine n four Jurisdictions, ten in six Juris dictions, eleven in one Jurisdiction. twelve In three jurisdictions and thir teen In one Jurisdiction. In order to make President Taft's dream truly effective it would seem that lives need to be drawn tighter in many States, the grounds for divorce being restricted and more persons who are divorced forbidden to re marry, And after all what Is needed as much as legislation Is an aroused moral sentiment on the subject Do not forget that tonight Hastings H. Hart, of the Child Helping depart ment of the Russell Sage foundation, is to speak at the Y. M. C. A. under nusplces of the Child's Welfare I ciety of Ashevllle. day. The theory of "divine right" does not seem to trouble his slum bers. He Is tolerant, as tolerant, al most, as the head of a genuinely re publican government." He realizes that democracy is, after all, the governing force and that a king, to keep a grip on his throne, must either be of the ornamental va riety, or one who, like Edward and George of England, does not unduly thwart the public will, but gracefully falls in with It. Alfonso Is a philosopher. Should the aggressive policies of his fiery premier ever bring on successful revo lution in Spain, it is a fair certainty that Alfonso would not go up and down the courts of Europe wailing like his cousin, Manuel, formerly of Portugal. Atlanta Constitution. CODDLED TOO MUCH. "The judge must be exceedingly dull who does not realize a growing impatience with the courts," remarks the Saturday Evening Post. The congressman must be exceed ingly dull who does not. realize a growing Impatience with congress. The governor must be exceedingly dull who does not realize a growing impatience with governors. The legislator must be xceedingly dull who does not realize a growing impationece with legislatures. The editor must be exceedinly dull who does not realize a growing Im patience with newspapers. The great American public is Impa tient with everybody except its snug. complacent self. We agree with Ed Howe that the public Is coddled too much. Some body or another is forever telling it about Its hardships and its wrongs, but nobody ever tells it about its own stupidity and indifference and neglect and passion and prejudice and folly, which are responsible for much of Its trouble. Just at present the public has seized upon the courts as one source of its political woes. A year or two later It will have found another vic tim. The public Is ready to blame anybody except Itself.

There was a feeling that the party In the Senate had erred, collec tively; and when Bailey quietly sent his resignation to the Vice President there was a powerful stir among those who hoped the party blunder would not be given emphasis by the Bailey resignation.

The board also went Into the market for samples and had them analysed and mills are being queried ahotit the costs of producing the vari ous samples.
